Well, perhaps I'm mistaken, so I've sorted out a selection of files and will post them in the following few posts. Again, if anyone has any questions on what the heck I was doing up to now, please don't hesitate to ask. John

Good work, Bob. Those hinges would have looked rubish without the pins - with them, they look superb! John

Michael, left handed rope is obviously used for tying left handed knots! Seriously, it used to be used for shrouds on larger ships and sometimes on small ships. Strangely enough (if memory serves me) coir rope was often laid up left handed. John

Danny, I have all my pictures, but I didn't think that this was an important enough log to reconstruct it completely. John

You're making some nice rope there, Michael! What are you going to use the left hand lay stuff for? John

I managed to get a bit of work done today, but no photos, unfortunately. The bowsprit is now permanently fitted (I hope I don't regret it later), I replaced the anchor shaskles and got a bit of work done on the main mast and top mast. I took my camera in to the museum with a set of fully charged batteries only to find when I get there that my 'alternate brand' set of batteries had lost their full charge in only four days! Oh well, photos next time! John

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
